A partir de la experiencia de tres grupos de inmigran- tes mexicanos establecidos en la región metropolitana de Los Ángeles, mostramos la relevan- cia de la especificidad en la práctica religiosa y organizativa en las localidades de origen, para comprender los caminos elegidos por los migrantes para movilizar prácticas y creencias en la reconfiguración de su relación con las localidades de origen y destino. PALABRAS CLAVE: integración, religión, conversión religiosa, transnacionalismo, etnicidad. ABSTRACT: Religious practices and beliefs can constitute an important resource in the inte- gration process of migrants, however, the form and direction in which such resources are utilized may vary significantly even among migrant groups coming from the same country, established within the same region and who used to practice the same religion when starting their migration process.

    eff.org Coalition Letter to the Internet Society Internet Society Attn: Andrew Sullivan, President and CEO 11710 Plaza America Drive, Suite 400 Reston, VA 20190 Dear Mr. Sullivan, We urge you to stop the sale of the Public Interest Registry (PIR) to Ethos Capital. Non-governmental organizations all over the world rely on the .ORG top-level domain. Decisions aecting .ORG must be made with the consultation of the NGO community, overseen by a trusted community leader. If the Internet Society (ISOC) can no longer be that leader, it should work with the NGO community and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to find an appropriate replacement. The 2019 .ORG Registry Agreement represents a significant departure from .ORG’s 34-year history. It gives the registry the power to make several policy decisions that would be detrimental to the .ORG community: The power to raise .ORG registration fees without the approval of ICANN or the .ORG community. A .ORG price hike would put many cash-strapped NGOs in the dicult position of either paying the increased fees or losing the legitimacy and brand recognition of a .ORG domain. The power to develop and implement Rights Protection Mechanisms unilaterally, without consulting the .ORG community. If such mechanisms are not carefully crafted in collaboration with the NGO community, they risk censoring completely legal nonprofit activities. The power to implement processes to suspend domain names based on accusations of “activity contrary to applicable law.” The .ORG registry should not implement such processes without understanding how state actors frequently target NGOs with allegations of illegal activity.

  • California's Indigenous Farmworkers
    California’s Indigenous Farmworkers Final Report of the Indigenous Farmworker Study (IFS) To the California Endowment January 2010 Web Version I By Richard Mines, Sandra Nichols and David Runsten Consult indigenousfarmworkers.org for further information. This project was done in collaboration with California Rural Legal Assistance Acknowledgements: This work took two and a half years. In order to be successful we needed the close cooperation of many indigenous communities and organizations. Our deepest debt is for the warm reception of the members of the nine case study communities including their filial branches in Mexico and the United States. The town authorities in Mexico in each case gave us their permission to carry out the study without which our work would have been impossible. We benefitted from the effort of many indigenous-speaking interviewers. The CRLA outreach workers Fausto Sánchez, Mariano Álvarez, and Jesús Estrada worked diligently to collect interviews. In addition, Antonio Flores, Lorenzo Oropesa, and Irma Luna also collected many interviews. Several privately hired interviewers came through with remarkable skill as well. The most important of these were Jorge Sanjuan and Antonino Mateo of the Fresno area and Juan Ramón in the San Diego area. Amadeo Lopez and Paulino Martinez lent an important hand collecting data from the Triqui speakers. We need to make a special mention of Anna García who is undoubtedly the nation’s preeminent farmworker interviewer. During the crunch of the data collection for the Indigenous Community Survey, she came through with a critical effort to complete our objectives. Anna also found Aline Doignon who did a sterling job entering all of the data.
